- Microbe with bizarrely tiny genome may be evolving into a virus
“Initially, we suspected this tiny circular genome might be some kind of artifact,” says Takuro Nakayama, an evolutionary microbiologist at Tsukuba But when Nakayama and his colleagues used several methods for sequencing and assembling the genome, they kept coming across this DNA loop

The discovery of Sukunaarchaeum's bizarrely viruslike way of living, reported last month in a bioRxiv preprint, "challenges the boundaries between cellular life and viruses," says Kate Adamala, a synthetic biologist at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities who was not involved in the work "This organism might be a fascinating living fossil
